About

After 20 years of teaching, I've been encouraged to pursue an MFA in Stage Design and Lighting. I was lucky enough to be accepted into the Lir, National Academy of Dramatic Art at Trinity College, Dublin in IRELAND! It's a phenomenal program, only five years old. It is VERY hands-on - postgrads are designing from day one, working with professionals, the best-of-the-best from Ireland, England and Europe. Only 6 designers are here with me, four directors and three playwrights. There are two lighting designers, including myself, four studying set design, and three studying costume design with some crossover amidst us doing two studies (set and lights, set and costume).
At 45 years old, it's amazing to be a student again - here with my wife and two children makes it quite an adventure.
Cheers, and we'll be back in the States in Aug, 2017.
